Handshake student product updates—October 11, 2024

Work authorization [Launched: September 30, 2024]

With new filters, students are now able to discern between recently posted jobs where work authorization is not required versus those where the employer elected not to disclose details. Students are also able to filter for OPT and CPT separately.

Unread messages digest [Launched: September 30, 2024]

We've introduced two new notification options to help students stay up to date on messages they've received from employers. They can now choose to receive unread messages in a daily or weekly digest format in addition to (or instead of) receiving a notification email every time an employer messages them. Weekly digests are turned on by default to ensure students don't miss an important message. This change gives students more control over how they wish to receive notification emails. Students should navigate to their notification preferences page to make changes.

Collections on employer pages [Launched: October 7,2024]

An employer’s page now includes a "what your school says" section that highlights any of your collections the employer is in. This section will only appear if the employer is included in at least one of your collections.
